Favorite old band/singer(s)

[TeriB19]

Again, the rules are, there are no rules. You can post your favorite old singer, band, trio, quartet, orchestra etc.

I'm partial to Billy Joel (singer) The Who (band) Genesis (quartet/trio) and actually listened to ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) for awhile so I fall under all of the above. Your turn.;)

[Dogstar]

Man, I have a lot, but here's who comes to mind: Yes, America, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin....the list goes on.

[Steve]

Something I really never sat down and listened to until last night.... Led Zeppelin. I was cranking "Stairway to Heaven" :D

[TeriB19]

Awesome song.

[jango]

Nothing comes close to Stairway. Single - Clapton, Band - Floyd, Trio - The BeeGees... jk.

;)

[hayley]

The Beatles are cool..used to be cool.;)

[souldancer]

Still cool.:)

[souldancer]

Beatles, CSN, Credence Clearwater R, Clapton, Doobies, Jackson Brown, James Taylor, Pablo Cruz, America, Joe Cocker, John Lee Hooker, Lynard Skynard, Peter Frampton, Steve Winwood...SANTATNA!....(what an eclectic mess of fun!)

Killer! I love Yes. Even newer Yes! I was lucky enough to see them this summer, twice. Saw them at Clearlake, California....awesome venue, right beside a lake. They played for nearly 3 hours and Wakeman was back with the crew.

Word is, they've already scheduled some late 2002 tour dates. I'm there if they come back around here.

Jackson Brown, SANTATNA!

I'm with you on these choices!

I saw Jackson Brown a few weeks ago. He opened for Tom Petty and outperformed him IMHO. I was so stoked because he did a song off of "I'm Alive" called "Everywhere I Go"

Santana! You know where I'll be when you're in Vegas.
;)
I've seen Santana more times than any other artist, and still counting. It's just great fun. Carlos was my first concert, at the age of 10. He played with Tower of Power in Vegas, at the Aladdin. I still have the concert stub.


Anybody into Moody Blues or Rare Earth?


How about a really obscure Dave Loggins?

[souldancer]

Would love to see Jackson Brown! Been awhile since I listened to Moody Blues. Not heard of Rare Earth by artist name.
Loggins, like in Messina ohhh * memories * sweet, sweet music..

[TeriB19]

Momma don't dance and your Daddy don't rock and roll!

[Mulletman]

i love santana. my fav is europa

Yeah, Europa is a wonderful tune, the first Santana tune I ever heard because my mom loved it so.

Try "Spirits Dancing in the Flesh" CD by Santana. There are a couple of "Europa like," slow, bluesy, love songs on that one.

[Altair]

Rare Earth has some great soul/rock tunes. Recognize these?
"I Just Want to Celebrate (another day of life)"
"Born to Wander"
"Hey Big Brother"
"Get Ready"

They're from the 70s. Great, fun music. Really makes you move. Killer lyrics, too.


Now, as far as Dave Loggins goes, he's the guy that had the big 70's hit, "Please Come to Boston"
That particular country/gospel song came out on an obscure tape called "A Musical Aprentice Workshop"
Very obscure, but very, very excellent, sing-a-long music.

[TeriB19]

I do like that song. Didn't know he sang it. He must be the #1 fan of the man from Tennessee.

My favorite song in 3rd grade, that ought to tell just how old I am!!! lol !! wore that 45 down to nothing!! there I go again, giving away just how old I am :P

[souldancer]

Altair, - great selections! I had to go find S's Blues for Salvator. Speaking of the....the...oh, yea... the '70s - I heard that Graham Nash is going to be in Tahoe Oct. 5-6.
More favs...CSN: Wasted on the Way, Southern Cross and more.

[TeriB19]

He's coming to Atlantic City in early October too. I love Our House.
'Cause I've got 2 cats in the yard"!:D

Cocker's got a killer, raspy voice, kinda' like Stapps. ;)


I saw INXS recently, without Hutchence, of course. While it wasn't quite the same, I do hope the band continues. They are great musicisians and a fun show to see live.

[Siana]

hehehee,i'm going nuts when i hear "You can leave your hat on" :P

[TeriB19]

Joe Cocker's remake of The Boxtops "The Letter" is even better than the original was. I love that version.

[Dogstar]

Vapor Trails rocks! I got it about a month ago, prepping to see Rush in concert which, btw, was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Saw them last week. Peart is possibly the greatest drummer ever! He was fully surrounded by a cluster of drums that spun around to face him. His 15 minute solo was absolutely mindblowing! Anyways, Vapor Trails is excellent. It's on the heavy side which, IMHO, is goood!

[Mulletman]

his voice aint the best, but hos bass riffs are wicked. les claypool idolized geddy lee

[Lady Valkyrie]

Jimi Hendrix
Janis Joplin
Billie Holliday
Glen Miller Orchestra
Lynrd Skynrd
Loretta Lynn
Hank Williams SR. and Jr.

Joe Cocker! Yeahhhh - just made my last post on the old board and playing..."With A LIttle Help From My Friends"...
And, did I forget Credence Clearwater R? ...Suise Q, Proud Mary, Up Around, .... :)

no,i haven't....but i know ppl strip on that song lol :P

[TeriB19]

That is one hysterical flick. And they really do leave their hats on. The problem with it, though, was that I kept having to rewind and play and rewind and play to find out what the hell they were saying.

[Dogstar]

Yeah, I saw it in the theater where the sound was a little better, but I did have to get used to the accents. The guy who played Dave was a hoot. Mark Addy, I think his name is. I still laugh when I watch it on video.

[Mulletman]

i havent seen that movie yet, i did see when drew carey did a parody of that movie

[Dogstar]

It's a good one. Once you get past the accents. Tom Wilkinson as the uptight Gerald Arthur Cooper is really funny.

Dark Side Of The Moon!!! One of THE best albums ever put out, IMO!!!

[Unforgiven Fan]

one of my favorite lines from them:

We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.


I want to were a shirt that says it to my school......

[Dogstar]

YES! One of the greatest.

[luvscott4ever]

I absolutely LOVE that movie!!!

[Mulletman]

i like hey you better. the frettless bass riffs are just wicked in that little intro

[Pittock]

I saw RUSH live and they were cool. I also like the doors, Pink Floyd, old Motley Crue, Tantric and the Stones. But at this point, no one compares to Creed. I listen every day, several times a day. I rarely listen to the radio cuz the reception is bad for the good local station here.

[Mulletman]

how good was rush?

[TeriB19]

Currently listening to Midnight Oil, I had forgotten how good they were.

"How can we dance when our earth is turning,
How do we sleep while our bed are burning?"

[Dogstar]

I like that song.

Now, in analyzing those lyrics, are they meant to say that education is unnecessary? Or, does the double negative apply?
"We don't need NO eduction" in other words, we need education?


It seems to me, from the context of that song, Waters meant to say that education is unnecessary. "Teachers, leave them kids alone."

Go figure.

But, who in their right mind would knock education? I know, from a certain point of view, ignorance is bliss, but was that his point?

[Snortmyster]

Did some one say moody blues, Days of future past awesome album to kick back and you know, chill.

[Siana]

"Take it back" is great too

[LadySilk]

The Beatles
The Doors
CSN&Y
Led Zepplin
Billy Joel
Heart

[Siana]

The Doors are kinda weird but i like them too,yeah...

[Mulletman]

i never got into the doors too much

[Dogstar]

I was into them in college big-time. I still like them but not with the fervor I had for them back then (many moons ago:D )

"Long live Rock!!"

[luvscott4ever]

Sorry, almost forgot what we were talking about (must be old age) The Doors...Like them still and of course, LOVE CREED!!!

[Dogstar]

ROFL....yes, it is incredible! I'm sure I'll still be listening to Creed, AIC, all my rock when I'm freakin' 65 and wearing my blue jeans and concert T's.

Do they allow concert tees and jeans in the retirement home? Because if there's a dress code, I'm outta there.:D

[Dogstar]

LMAO...Creedsketeers forever!

[TeriB19]

I have a FABULOUS idea!! We will all retire to Florida. The guys all live there, we can wear our Creed Tee's (and jean shorts) and try to hang out where they do. We can rent a condo and be that much closer to them!!! Who's with me??

[Dogstar]

It's already too freakin hot down there with just the weather. Don't know if I could take being that close to the boys:D. There would be some serious mercury rising.:cool:

[Dogstar]

Though, Scott in a muscle shirt and cutoffs might be just what I need to deal with the heat:D

[TeriB19]

Perhaps you could both cool off with a dip in his pool. You could take off the Creed Tee and he could take off the muscle shirt and I'm not even going to continue on with that thought because it's getting really hot in here again!!

[luvscott4ever]

[Dogstar]

LOL, same here....Gotta go cool off!:D

[Mulletman]

....how did this conversation turn into sex talk.....?

this is what happened when i leave for a few days

You shouldn't stay away for so long. The guys on this bb need to throw some cold water on us every so often.

great now look what yall have started...

[Dogstar]

We're sorry, MM...we just get a little carried away:D :D
Ok, I'll name another of my favorite old bands or artists to get this back on track. Thanks for keeping us honest (well, at least for now;) .

The Police, before Sting became, well, Sting, i.e, bigger than the music.

[TeriB19]

I loved the Police, and after Synchronicity, I loved Sting's Dream of the Blue Turtles. I loved the whole different sound that album had with the jazz stuff. After that he did get a little too big.

[Dogstar]

Yeah, I never got into his solo career. I really like the vibe they had as a group. Zenyatta Mondata (sp?) is still my fave. Canary in a Coalmine is a wild song. Love it!

[Mulletman]

i like sting, <i>"walking on the moon..."</i>

i never got into his latest CD i mean i loved desert rose but the rest was just too popish for me

[TeriB19]

Originally posted by Dogstar

First you fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect. Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect.
I have that in the van and the girls always sing along: Mary in a coalmine!

[Dogstar]

LOL, that's too cute.

[Mulletman]

yea very cute.

[TeriB19]

I also have "Mashmouth" - "Might well be walkin the sun" Amanda's personal favorite on that same cd.

[Dogstar]

LOL, kids are too funny the way they pronounce stuff. My nephew used to have trouble with New Jersey. He always called it New Jersney and when he would say, Excuse me, it came out Smuse me.

[TeriB19]

Amanda has trouble with "L's" so everything that starts with L comes out as Y. As in, I wanna sit on your YAP. I YOVE you mommy. I YIKE cake!

[Mulletman]

hope shes feeling better

[OneLastBreath]

Queen are my favourite old band.

They rocked!

[Siana]

Queen are the GREATEST OLD BAND!

[TeriB19]

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is the GREATEST OLD BAND . Queen is one of the best classic bands (not old, that makes me feel old!;) )

[Siana]

lol,ok

[Mulletman]

queen was awsome

[Siana]

Queen ARE awesome.Yes,they are no longer together but their music is immortal!:)

[Mulletman]

true

[TeriB19]

Are they still planning on doing something with Robbie Williams? I just don't see that as being good. The Grateful Dead just weren't the same without Jerry Garcia, the Beach Boys just weren't the same after Brian Williams went nuts, and Queen without Freddy Mercury just isn't Queen.

[Mulletman]

jerry garcia is the man!

[TeriB19]

Was the man. Now is ashes. Check out the Ganges River.:P

[allison]

How about Depeche Mode?

[Dogstar]

Love Thieves is my fave Depeche Mode song.

[allison]

Love it too! And what about A Question of Lust?
